A sad day in Cardinal and baseball history

February 4, 2013

A sad day in Cardinal and baseball history, as Chris Carpenter has had another set back in his shoulder rehab. The prognosis does not look good and Chris will not be joining us in Spring Training. I have never seen a warrior on the baseball field like Carp, and we may never see one like him again. A respected competitor, and a loved teammate who went out of his way to make people around him better. A legacy will follow him that goes beyond his three All-Star appearances, Cy Young award, and two World Series Championships. That legacy of unmatched worked ethic, and fiery competitiveness, will live on with the many pitchers in our organization that were fortunate to spend time learning from one of the best.
